NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Marie-Courtin Éloquence Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne is an exceptional sparkling wine that showcases the elegance and finesse of the Champagne region.This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, resulting in a crisp and refreshing character.
On the nose, this Champagne offers delicate aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers. The palate is vibrant and lively, with flavors of lemon, pear, and a hint of minerality. The fine bubbles create a creamy texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
The Extra Brut style of this Champagne means that it has a very low dosage, resulting in a bone-dry finish. This allows the purity of the Chardonnay grapes to shine through, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a more restrained and crisp style of Champagne.
